The s-1500 doesn't do the greatest job in color or grayscale (I'm assuming results from the s-1300 will be similar). The scans come out slightly faded looking and a tad on the light looking side. I was able to correct that on the color comics I scanned by scanning thjem to .jpg, editing them as a batch using Infranview, then converting to PDF with Acrobat. I had to jack up the contrast and reduce the brightness to get a decent color rendition (it also helped to correct fading of the originals due to age). I don't do that much color other than book covers (and I'm not particular about them) so it's not that big a deal to me.
Books scanned in black and white average about 15 MB. The color comics were enormous so I reduced them to around an average of 30 MB in Acrobat without any loss of quality. I tried reducing books scanned in black and white but quality suffered often enough to not be worth the slight reduction I was getting. It was also time consuming so I just don't bother.
